With remote and hybrid work becoming more and more prevalent in the last two years, there’s been a dramatic increase in the use of video conferencing tools to allow simultaneous communication when working remotely. It’s not just about having video meetings, though. There’s a need for a tool that offers desktop sharing, audio calls, multi-person meetings, etc. All of this needs to be tied together as a seamless solution that works on all devices without needing to download software or create a new log-in. That’s why we built Spike Video Meetings with 1-click video meetings in your Inbox. 

 

Spike Video Meetings is completely free, unlimited, and guaranteed to keep you safe and secure at all times.

No App Download Required: A Cloud-Based Video Conferencing Solution

 

Here at Spike, we believe in tech for good—and that’s why we want our video conferencing solution to reach as many people as possible. We’ve made it easier for you to stay connected with those who matter most by giving you a video conferencing solution that is entirely in the cloud—you don’t need to download anything, install anything, or even create a Spike account. It makes it possible for someone on their desktop to start a meeting with someone on an iPhone who’s traveling without needing a separate app. This is one of the many reasons why Spike Video Meetings is the best free video conferencing tool for iPhone. 

 

Anyone can join the party and there are no time limits on call length or the number of participants. It’s tightly integrated with Spike’s desktop and mobile apps and works directly from Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on desktop, as well as Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS. 

 

At Spike, we believe everyone has the right to privacy. Therefore, there are no ads in Spike Video Meetings and no private data is collected. And to ensure you and your fellow participants are protected, we’ve used SRTP connections for the ultimate in security. 

 

Finally, screen sharing is integrated directly within the Spike Video Meetings, making it the best way to share your desktop screen for presentations, training sessions, etc.
